Materials needed
4 double-pointed needles in a size suitable for the yarn weight you are using. I recommend using needles a size or two smaller than the yarn calls for, to produce a firm fabric. I used Needles size US 21/2 (3mm). White and red colored yarn for doll. I used Himalaya Super Soft Yarn / 100% acrylic ; 200gr - 328m / Black yarn for hair Toy stuffing Yarn needle Stitch holder · 2 plastic eyes 2 pompoms All rows are worked in the round, this helps avoid ugly seams .

FINISHINGDOLL.
How I am finishing dolls
Fixing head and body.
Use a long needle with a yard of strong thread, doubled and knotted at the end. Start at the underside of the body. Push the needle thru to the outside of the torso. Push the needle thru the head and out on the opposite side. Go back thru to the inside of the head taking a small stitch on the outside. Repeat this procedure thru the head and body gently pulling the thread to tighten the joint with each pass thru, one or two more times, but do not indent too deeply. End on the underside of the body. Bury the thread into the body.
Embroider the doll hair like this:
Now put arms into the sleeves. I used crotchet hook for this.
How I am fixing arms.
Sew arms through the body. With doubled thread, start at the underside of one of the limbs, leaving a five or six inch long tail and push the needle thru to the outside of the limb. Go back thru to the inside of the limb taking a small stitch on the outside. Push the needle thru the body and out on the opposite side. Go thru the other limb from the inside to the outside. Taking a small stitch, go back thru the limb to the inside, back thru the body and thru to the outside of the first limb. Repeat this procedure thru the limbs and body gently pulling the thread to tighten the joint with each pass thru, one or two more times, but do not indent too deeply. End on the inside between the body and the first limb. Tie off with the tail of the original thread.
Glue the plastic eyes to the head. Apply red blush. Sew one or two pompoms to the hood.
